It is believed that today's children and iccnagcrs arc consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting ±cm at a higher risk of the disease.Initially the sugar tax was expected to make £520m a year for the Treasury, However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount At present it is expected to generate £240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.It comes after more than balf of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers （制造商）so they can avoid paying the tax.

A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, lefs say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions （引辛放）of carbon dioxide （CO2） from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. Thefsccondarv footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole life cycle of products we usethose related to their production and breakdown.Based on this understandings we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production However, for the car and the other appliances （设备）that wc need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.32. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?A. It is related to our consumption of fuels.B. It is made when we are buying the products.C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.33. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?A. Using second-hand textbooks.B. Using old and expensive cars.，C. Buying new but cheap clothes.D. Buying new wooden furniture.34. “The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in A. making the product.B. recycling the product.C. using the product.D. transporting the product.35. What is the text mainly about?A. What appliances to buy to save energy.B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.C. How to make eco-fnendly lifestyle choices.D. How to identify different carbon footprints.英语由S3第6页共10页 第二节（共5小逝；每小肠2.5分，湎分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的及佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项，You've seen other people flying kites watching their paper creations float up into the clouds on a windy
